Kemokko Doubutsuen! (Manga) add

Ok so this manga, I have no words to explain how I felt, well technically I can explain it but I can't measure it. It just made me confused and weirdly aroused and I was morally conflicted if this manga was actually good or just plain out garbage. The plot is stupid as all shit because it's literally just making animals into anime girls however the "plot" is amazing.

Okay the story is okay I guess, it has some chapters that are emotionally driven but still leads to very horny. The story was just setting up for a massive sex scene in the end and I ...

Kimetsu no Yaiba (Manga) add

Spoiler

It's not very good. Those 4 words can easily describe this show despite it's massive hype and fan base. Now to the reason why it is... Yeah there's a lot of things wrong with this manga and frankly I wish I could love this series but I can't. First off I'm not here to insult anybody who likes as I can see some merit to it, like some of the actions and design but everything else about the story and contradictory is not very good.

Story - 2
First off the story, good start right? Yeah the quality drops down the moment they introduce the Lower ... moon 5 Rui, because it's all about the 12 moons now after that. It's always about the upper moons as one of the main enemies. The characters grow so much from off screen training but like most of the things they learned are quite rudimentary. I'd wish they show more of the training about fighting other demons who specialize in certain aspects but the author can't be bothered thinking about unique powers. Albeit the characters are somewhat like-able and by that only 5 characters are. Main trio is also annoying, they have like one or two traits and I don't like how they try to impact deaths because it doesn't seem like it affects the characters besides maybe Rengoku. Deaths were rushed and didn't give closure because their backstories are always in the last moments of their lives or on the verge of their lives, in which gets repetitive real quick. I wished this series had 100 more chapters to give more emphasize and for us to connect to the characters more instead of them to serve like 3 fights. My golly the ending as well was... you can definitely feel it was rushed. The author even tried to milk some chapters by doing some unnecessary comeback that lasted for like 3 chapters.

Characters - 3
I'll start talking about how shallow the characters are before I go with the ones that actually seemed like it had thought into it. Main trio is annoying, there are people who legit defend Zenitsu, he's a creep and chances are you probably are too. Inosuke is cool I guess but not enough as just because he survived in the wild doesn't mean he can do things that are almost impossible for the human body. Tanjiro is too much of your typical shounen protagonist. The rest of the pillars were rushed as they only got their backstories moments before they died as I mentioned before. The demons also follow the same trend but some still have good stories like Akaza, Kokoshibou and Gyutaro.
Now for the like-able characters, starting off with Giyuu, he really seems like a character the author gave some thought to at the very least. A hashira who doesn't view themselves as a hashira as they feel like somebody else could take their place instead, really interesting as a character. Yoriichi, a man who could do it all but failed to, he had the opportunity to end all demons but his humanity and sympathetic heart despite his cold face. Sanemi, the man who fought for his brother and only ended up surviving by himself, really unfortunate tale. Kokoshibou, jealousy took him over but yet was able to get closure at his final moments as a demon. Akaza regained his humanity and decided to end his life after learning his past once again. Really surprises me that these are the most enjoyable characters in my book

Art - 5
It's a hit or miss I guess, I don't like it when they try to blend some comedic style during intense fights. ALSO MY GOD WAS IT HARD TO FOLLOW SOME FIGHTS AT TIMES and I feel bad for the animators. Cool scenes at some points though

Power system - 3
The point of power system is that humans rely on their technique and ability but at times it doesn't even fucking make sense. Demons however get a pass since they have enhanced strength, healing and other stuff. Let's talk about breathing styles albeit very cool, it doesn't make sense as the author doesn't even know if the effects are real or not. Case and point arrow demon fight, how did tanjiro redirect it? Like seriously it was shown that he used like waves to but how? The waves didn't exist and only was in his mind so how? Muichiro's final breathing style, doesn't make on how the demons say there is a fog when they shouldn't even notice. Sanemi also on the last stand using some sort of projectile attack on Muzan. It really doesn't make sense at all because it defies all human boundaries. Your telling me that breathing styles visualizing themselves and doing things aren't even possible in real life suppose to represent the power of the human mind? Don't give me that bullshit that they trained because even that's not how training as a human works.

Enjoyment - 6
Despite me ranting, it still some how gave me a somewhat enjoyable read as most of the time I had my brain turned off however on my second read with my brain working I started to notice the problems it had.

Really, all this praise is just coming from UFOTABLE hype and nothing more. There's nothing special nor rather good about this series other than like 3 things. You can like it but I objectively see it as a bad manga that had potential but dropped as the author didn't know what to do with it.

This manwha is amazing in terms of art, action and suspense it does all of those amazingly! Do I recommend this manhwa at all? No, I would not recommend it as it's cons outweigh the pros of this manhwa. Many times has this manhwa felt rush and and all it could compensate was it's amazing art but it's all show but no substance.

I'll start off with the stuff I think the manga did okay or great in so you can see if any of these interest you.

Pros -
*Amazing art and action. It doesn't take a genius to tell you that this manhwa is beautiful ... in every panel. It serves great atmosphere, chilling panels and just terrifying monsters to see.
*A lot of content. This manhwa has really really long chapters especially towards the end so if you like to read a hefty amount of dialogue then it's good for that
*The protagonist. MAN IS HE A BADASS CHARACTER, like he's so powerful that the action gets amplified a thousand times
*Actual threats. Even if you were a hunter in the world, you'd probably die quite easily because the world isn't built for your success or in your favor and it's great to see even if your in the "awakened" doesn't mean your special and the suspense you get seeing if the characters will die or not due to how much stronger they are compared to the hunters

That's pretty much all I can say it does okay on. Now let's talk about the cons and I promise you, there's a lot of flaws.

Cons -
*Too much focus on the MC. This doesn't give the other characters more time to shine and most of the problem solving gets resolved by the MC just because he is OP
*Forgettable characters. They introduce quite a lot of characters but even then you probably don't even know their name and I can only name like 3 characters but obviously not their full name Cha hae in, Yoo Jin Ho and Thomas Andre. Because the 3 are the ones who get the more rememberable scenes out of all the side characters but even then it's minuscule compared to the MC. Does anybody even remember the demon girl in the hell floors or the ginger hair healer girl in the beginning?
*Generic. As much I enjoyed this most out of the other power fantasies it's still painfully generic. MC is OP because he did something and now he gets bitches. Well he doesn't cause his kinda dense until the last few chapters.
*Rushed story. Anybody who reads this know despite it having long and plenty of chapters it feels too rushed and you can definitely feel that the author tried to pack a lot of stuff but clearly still didn't have enough time or chapters to do so. This includes the romance between Sang Jin-woo and Cha Hae In. It was more of a one sided love and the author just tried to force a ship between them. They don't have much chemistry with each other so if this had like 50 more chapters this would have been at least a 7 for me. Unfortunately the artist passed away, despite the rushed I won't slander the art.
*Meaningless story points. There are quite a few points in the story that makes it feel pointless, for example the School gate incident. It didn't feel like it provided anything other than to give the MC's sister trauma which didn't add much to the story at all
*Mediocre writing. There are many points in which the writing just doesn't feel right or the characters don't feel realistic.
*The ending. Absolutely dogshit, some time travel bullshit making all the chapters except the last 3 a waste. All that build up for the MC to just reset and waste the deaths and developments of characters in which they still got little of?

You can see I wrote a lot more cons than pros and this isn't just because I did it on purpose these are literally my thoughts on the series. I struggled trying to think more than 3 things amazing or okay in this manhwa and I don't hate this manhwa frankly it had a lot of potential but unlike the MC's power it has a limit and it doesn't go high.

Rest in peace Sung-rak Jang. You provided amazing art to this rather mediocre story

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

This anime sure is hyped huh? I can see why but it's not a masterpiece. I still enjoy this series a lot but calling it a masterpiece is a bit too much and more so blinded by hype. This anime did made me read ahead of the manga just because of how much I enjoyed the first 2 episodes and yeah it's good. Nothing too insane but the score for this anime as I am writing this is a bit too high (9.09 as of writing) but I do hope this anime stays somewhere in the top 50 or 20 depending.

This anime is just ...
